Responses to Reviews:

Tobun: This one's for you ^.^!

Lovely moonlit maiden: I agree with you there ^.^

Mystic Gohan's Chrissy: *salutes* Your wish is my command.

Zorra Lombardi: Good luck with your marching. I'm sure you'll survive...no one's ever been killed by practising...I think ^.^

Wind: To tell you the truth, I have no idea how I come up with this stuff either...^.^. I could just blame it on my insanity or something...not that I'm insane or anything...ehehe ^.^. but the prank in the last chappie was an idea from a reviewer (Natari).

Raven: Sorri for not putting Radu in it yet, I'm still looking for a good place to insert him. (I'm actually waiting for a good opening to jump up and bite me on the bum! ^.^)

Everyone: Like always, thanks heaps for all the reviews. Sorri this chappie is kinda late, I just had no inspiration to write. And for the next few weeks, updates might be kinda slow cause I have to study for my exams. And they're finals too, so these marks do actually count! *bites fingernails nervously* I'm NOT looking forward to them! Oh and by the way, this is the morning of the 7th day. Enjoy!

The morning came sooner than what everyone wanted and they were soon woken up by the usual morning fanfare of trumpets.

Then they heard something unusual. Hercule.

"Get your lazy butts out here!" he yelled, immediately waking everyone up.

Tobun, Kara and Reez gave each other the 'Uh-oh' look and quickly tugged their clothes on and scrambled out of their tent and assembled in the clearing with the rest of the campers.

They walked over to where Gohan and his other tenties were.

"Hey, do you think he knows?" Reez whispered.

"Yeah, most likely, but do you think he knows it was us?" Gohan asked

"Let's just hope not eh?" Tobun said.

"Yeah" Kara agreed.

They were interrupted as the not-so-afroed-multicoloured-hair-dude started to address the campers.

"I have been very disappointed with this group of campers. I am ashamed to admit that I have been the victim of many pranks. Last night I almost caught the little –censored- rats but unfortunately they escaped me"

Giggles and murmurs rippled through the group.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!!" Hercule roared.

Everyone immediately shut up.

Hercule then started wandering through the group, looking each of the campers up and down with a big frown on his face, trying to find the little –censored- rats who pulled the pranks on him.

"Uhhh, any ideas would be great" Reez whispered to Gohan.

Gohan nodded, racking his brains for a possible distraction. Suddenly, he thought of a really good idea.

::Piccolo?:: he telepathically communicated, hoping that he hadn't lost his touch ::Piccolo, can you hear me?::

::Yea, kid, I can hear you, only just though:: Piccolo's faint reply came.

::Good. I have a favour to ask of you:: Gohan said

::Shoot::

::I need a distraction::

::Sure, what kind of distraction?:: Piccolo asked

::Well, you're a big, green alien, need I say more?:: Gohan said, kind of sarcastically, they were running out of time, Hercule was getting closer and closer.

::Yeah, yeah, whatever:: Piccolo grumbled

::And make it quick:: Gohan said, spiking his ki temporarily so that Piccolo could get a lock onto his position.

::Sure, kid, I'll be there in a minute:: Piccolo said, then cut the communication.

"Everything's sorted" Gohan whispered to Reez, who gave him the thumbs-up.

Hercule was getting closer and closer, taking his time to inspect every camper.

'Come on, Piccolo, where are you?' Gohan thought.

Just before Hercule got to Gohan's group, someone screamed.

Everyone's attention was immediately turned to the girl who screamed. She pointed up into the sky.

Floating right above the clearing, was a big, green alien.

The reactions were mixed, some people screamed, some people fainted, and some people just ran for cover in the woods.

But what really took the cheese was Hercule's reaction. He took one look at Piccolo and he froze in terror.

"M-M-M-M-M-MOMMY!" he yelled and then ran around and around in random circles around the clearing until he finally tripped over a log and cowered behind it, his bum sticking up in the air.

The only people who didn't run for cover were Gohan and the rest of his friends. As far as Reez and the rest were concerned, as long as Gohan wasn't scared of the green alien, they wouldn't be either.

Piccolo floated down in front of Gohan.

"Was that good enough for ya, kid?" he asked

"Yeah, thanks, Piccolo" Gohan said

"Uhhh, Gohan" Tobun said "Who is that?"

"Oh, sorry guys, this is my friend, Piccolo" Gohan said, introducing Piccolo to his friends.

"Wow, cool. He's green!" Tobun said, inspecting Piccolo closely.

"Uh, Gohan, I've gotta go now" Piccolo said after a few minutes of being inspected, prodded and poked by Gohan's curious friends, who'd obviously never seen a green alien before and were trying to confirm that it was actually real.

"Sure, Piccolo" Gohan said.

Piccolo took off into the air and called back over his shoulder "Come spar with me sometime"

"Will do" Gohan said.

They all watched as Piccolo disappeared into the distance.

"Great distraction, Gohan" Reez complimented.

"Wow, you know so many interesting people!" Kara commented

"And that's just the tip of the iceberg" Gohan muttered

"What was that?" Kara said

"Oh, nothing" Gohan replied.

By then, most of the campers were emerging from their hiding places behind rocks and trees. They were all surprised to see that the world hadn't come to an end just yet.

Everyone was completely confused and they were all trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

Hercule was still cowering behind his log and had forgotten completely about what he was previously doing, which was the whole purpose of the distraction.

He finally emerged some 20 minutes later and straightened his clothes and cleared his throat like nothing had happened at all.

"The world champion cowers at nothing!" he stated "I just tripped over the log!"

He then looked around and saw that his proclamation hadn't reached anyone as the clearing was empty and everyone had gone to do the day's activities.

He shook his head and wandered back towards his capsule house.

'What a strange morning' he thought 'And that green guy looked familiar'

Author's Notes: Sorri about the shortness, but I just figured this was a good place to finish it.

I've been very busy this week and I will also be busy next week so I might not get the next chapter out very soon, maybe I'll probably write on the weekend if I get time. Maybe I'll write in the week if I get a chance in-between homework, studying and going to the gym (yes, my friend makes me go to the gym with her...it's actually quite fun except when she makes me run on the treadmill for 40 minutes, phew!). Well I think this is quite enough of my babbling and I gotta go now coz there's a good song on the radio ^.^

Laterz!!
